It was established in 1972. In addition to various concerts, this orchestra conducts educational campaigns for classical music through their performances at elementary schools in Kyoto Prefecture. Their activities became full-scale after becoming a nonprofit organization (NPO) in 2000. They play without a conductor and presently consist of eighteen members.
